re: So the Alabama targeting play last night

Honestly, bama football has been pretty unwatchable this year with all the cupcakes.

I love it when Auburn fans bring up Bama's cupcake schedule.

Auburn and Alabama's common opponents for 2013:

LSU, Ole Miss, Miss St, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Arkansas

Bama's cupcakes: Virginia Tech, Colorado State, Chattanooga, Georgia State , Kentucky

Auburn's cupcakes: Washington State, Arkansas State, Western Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Georgia (ok not a cupcake but a 4 loss GA team is not last year's GA team)


don't really see a whole lot of difference in the 2 teams schedules but if you feel better saying Bama plays a cupcake schedule and your out of conference opponents are superior to Bama's then

I hate this rule, but how is this targeting if the Jones hit isn't? I'm so tired of SEC refs.

Thats a bad call, but 47s facemask hit the QBs facemask, and it was definitely a late hit, so there is that. What does that have to do with us?

Shoulder to head/neck area is still targeting.

Yes, I said that, but he didnt hit int he head neck area, he hit him right at the top of the numbers. sliding up into the facemask after initial contact is NOT the same thing as hitting the facemask as the initial contact.

You cannot control where you go after a hit, you can however control where you hit, and he hit in the chest, at the top of the numbers, therefore completely legal.

Did you not see I posted it to the guy that put the gif of the db hitting the wide receiver. I was addressing him and his gif not your situation. Thanks for the info though.

Uppercut the facemask


Nope.

Yep

look right above you. it's pretty clear where contact was made. should have been ejected.

Haha, the ref is pulling his flag out before he even hit him.

Thats what im looking at. its a still frame with no way if knowing at what point during the hit it was taken. But by looking, as I said, it looks like it was taken right after contact, which stood jones up and makes it look like his helmet is right at the guys neck, but it wasnt at the point of impact. it also is after the guy was knocked back which effects where he was in relation to which direction jones had his body turned at the point of impact.

at impact jones was lower and pointed to the sidelines with his helmet, not into the player

My picture is just before impact, and his helmet is heading right for the neck area
